He can’t hear you
What Owen Jones always ignores:
What? What is it that Owen Jones always ignores? What are these tweets examples of Owen Jones ignoring?
Women. Women’s rights. The rights of women. The fact that women have rights, and are constantly having to defend them.
He interprets everything gender critical feminists say as “transphobia” and “anti-trans activism” when in fact for feminists it’s women’s rights that are crucial. We say that our point is that much of trans ideology is in direct conflict with women’s rights, and he invariably ignores that and just calls it “transphobia.” We reply a billion times that it’s not, it’s about women’s rights and how much of trans ideology tramples all over our rights. We might as well save our breath and our typing, because he never ever pays the slightest attention.

That’s a bit rich considering the BBC’s new policy on Sports Commenting.
I’m guessing Owen Jones doesn’t pay much attention to the BBC. Oh, wait, he can’t see how much they talk about trans issues from a trans-friendly standpoint, because it wouldn’t fit the narrative. If people admitted that the BBC, the NYT, and other major media have totally crossed over to the trans side, it would spoil the claim to be ignored, belittled, demeaned, and persecuted. If they have the media mostly on their side (and they do), they might find it hard to get people to accept that they are the most oppressed group ever and ever. So pretend NO ONE is allowing you to talk, even as you splash your doctrine all over the entire media empire, capture institutions, get almost everything you want, with those few things you haven’t gotten yet being considered. You get sympathy…and women get shit on.
When what you want is everything,
All you’ve got is nothing.
